Disagreebait

A form of online trolling where the goal is to disagree with every single thing a person says, regardless of content, accuracy, or logic. The Disagreebaiter isn't engaging in debate—they're performing disagreement as a weapon. Every post gets a "actually, that's wrong." Every fact gets a "source?" Every personal experience gets a "that didn't happen." The goal is exhaustion: to wear the target down, to make them doubt themselves, to gaslight them into questioning their own reality. Often combined with patholight—"touch grass," "take your meds," "you need help"—to suggest the target is mentally ill for even responding. It's not about being right; it's about making the other person feel wrong for existing.

"I posted a heartfelt thread about my experience with grief. Within minutes, Disagreebait: 'Actually, grief doesn't work that way.' 'Source?' 'You're being dramatic, touch grass.' They don't care about grief—they care about making me feel crazy for having feelings."
